SHABBY CHIC ♡

༺Photo Diary : A rainy day in Italy ♥

Ciao! This particular day in Gravagna I mainly spent inside - just like i would do back home on a dreary day. Luckily in Italy, despite it thundering outside, the air remains pretty hot, so shorts are still most definitely the 'dress code'. As you can see by the door of our house in the background, it's all quite rustic looking and full of character. I guess it could be called old-school 'shabby chic'?

I bought these worn out looking medium blue denim shorts not too long before we left for Italy. These are from H&M , and in a size 8 they are the perfect fit for me. They are a little frayed at the edges, and slightly high waisted so look good with pretty much any style of top. Here is a similar pair being sold by H&M online - SHORTS.

Right about this time, i really regretted not taking a spare bottle of hair dye with me, as my roots are coming through quite dark at the top.

Going back to basics, we had to collect twigs from our cellar to start up a fire. Without an oven, we (well..my dad) had to cook everything this way.

My charcoal grey/black Girls Rebellion top is sleeveless, and has studs on the shoulders. I ordered this online a while ago, so here are two other tops I found; both with different similarities to mine. This ones from TopShop and has a print with studs -TOP1This one is from House of Fraser and is sleeveless with studs -TOP2.

This
Flannel shirt was probably one of my best buys from Urban Outfitters
Urban Renewal range.It's navy blue and dark green, and I bought it in
the men's section to ensure it was baggy. Usually in the heat I would
just tie it around my waist, however England is very rarely hot! Here is
a very similar Urban Renewal shirt (from the women's section) - UO.SHIRT.

Because I have bleached hair, I have been experimenting with as many colours as I can lately. This Bleach London colour - washed up mermaid - I'm absolutely in love with! I would definitely recommend this dye, (as well as the Bleach London silver shampoo and conditioner for platinum blonde hair) as i personally have found it to be much better than crazy colour; it lasts longer , and is not too expensive at all.

I'm off to see a band called Nothing But Thieves this evening (very excited) and as I don't want my makeup to smudge, I have used a little more than i would usually. Most of the product's I have used are completely affordable drugstore products.Including:The previously reviewed L'oreal Infallible primer and foundation, with a small amount of Rimmel London Lasting finish foundation in the colour light porcelain.The Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer correcteur.No7 Perfectly Bronzed dual bronzer - i used the lighter shade all over,…

RUN BOY RUN: Eyeshadow palette by Makeup Revolution. Perfect for the bargain hunters! ♡Packaging:After contemplating between three of the available limited edition palette's, I settled for this one called RUN BOY RUN (which is the name of one of the shades inside).

It is one of the first palette's they had which combines both shimmer and matte - 12 shimmer, and 6 matte.
Despite having to apply a lot more of the colour itself onto the eyelid to create the same effect as a higher quality eyeshadow - you are getting 18 unique shades ( all super pigmented) for a bargain price of £6. - EYESHADOW PALETTE.

For those of you looking to try out a variety of different eyeshadow shades - ON A BUDGET - I would 100% reccomend the Makeup Revolution palettes! You also need to bare in mind that , like most 18 shade eyeshadow palettes, not every colour is going to be perfectly suited to you...and if your like me , and have your mind set on the exact colours you like to wear - try to experiment…

THE RAGGED PRIEST UNI-BUM UNICORNMOM JEANS ♡ Was very excited when I spotted these unicorn mom jeans by The Ragged Priest (who I am obsessed with at the moment!) as I had been searching for mom jeans for an age , and not only were these the perfect colour, but they have unicorns on the butt! How can you say no to having a unicorn bum?!

These particular Jeans are pretty pricey, but I think it's worth it to get good quality Jeans that will last a long time. However , there a similar mom jeans on the Ragged Priest website that are on sale , and have some really cute patches and prints. It's going to be difficult to stop myself from wearing these everyday!
